Step 3: Add the translations to your excel file

• Open the Excel file and navigate to the language tabs for which you want to add translations. You will see language tab for the generic form content and a tab for all the all the question.
• In the excel file, add your translations. In case your content has HTML content, leave the HTML tags intact in order not to disrupt the user interface. The import will work when you will remove the HTML tags, but it will look different compared to the default language. 

You can find 2 tabs for each language that you've added, one for the generic form content and one for all the questions. In the columns of these tabs, you can directly translate your content. 

Step 4: Import your translations back in

• Once you're happy with your translations, import them back in by selecting a file and pressing Import. 
• You will get a success message and your translations will process in the background. Please make sure that in the meantime, you don't make any changes to the form, since it could affect the translations. Once your import is completed, the import status will have updated and you can see what translation changes have been processed. In case there were error in your import, the import status will also show this.
